I finally got the latest and all the previous expansions. The game is about ten times better now (and it was excellent without the expansions). I played trough the first campaign mission, and saved in the middle of the second one, as I have to prepare for my trip to Germany tomorrow.  

There will probably be fewer posts for the next three to four weeks. I will, however, keep playing all the new DS games that came out. There’s plenty of those (and some are yet to be released), so I won’t be to bored without my laptop. I just hope I manage to get it completely repaired.

My herbivore race of Giant Intelligent Bunnies has reached space age. I went herbivore all the way and didn’t die even once. All of my buildings have a vegetable theme and the bunnies even kind of look like bunnies.

In other news, I’ll be going to Germany tomorrow and my laptop will go to repairs, so I won’t be able to post as often. Off course, I will mostly be playing my DS.

I’ve been playing it all day yesterday and today. That’s how great it is! I’ve gained the badge of omnipotence and have met the Grox which is a super advanced race that lives in the center of the galaxy. I’m not really sure what my goal is, but I think it’s to reach the center. I guess that means I have to fight the Grox to get there, which is not going to be easy.

Completed!

I bought a bunch of repair and energy packs and decided to make a run for the centre of the galaxy. It was tough, as my ship’s range was greatly reduced due to gravitational disturbances as I neared the centre. I even had to go back a few times to take a different path. In the end, though, I managed to reach the centre. There, I met an alien named Steve, who welcomed me to the company of advanced races in this universe. He also gave me the Staff of Life. This nifty item has 42 charges which is the answer to the Ultimate Question about the life, the universe and everything. When you use it on a planet, it gets filled up entirely, and thus becomes fully terraformed. It’s a useful item, but more of a gimmick than anything else, since it has limited uses. Anyway, the game Is completed now.

After completing it, I decided to start again, but this time with a peaceful, herbivore race.

I finally got it and how my god how great it is! I’ve played most of the day, with a short break when I watched my friend play. I got all the way to space phase, being a predator all the way. The first epic creature I managed to kill was in tribe phase. The civilization phase was probably the easiest with me not loosing even a single unit. Anyway, I’m off to continue playing.

After returning to the Copper Coronet, I dumped Nalia and took Korgan with me. He needed to recover a book from a tomb in the graveyard district. In there, I had to fight a bunch of mid to high level undead. After realizing someone took the book before us, we decided to visit the buyer in an attempt to beat the culprits to him. We’ve found him dead in his home. Korgan said this is probably the work of his former companions. We’ve found them on the roof of the Copper Coronet and disposed of them. I got the book and sold it to the nearest store. After this, I replaced Korgan with Anomen.

Shrotly after I took Anomen with me, we got news of his sisters’ death. We went to his family estate in the government district, where his father claimed she was murdered by another merchant. I managed to talk Anomen out of avenging his sister. This is best left to the authorities.

Afterwards, I went to the Bridge district where I solved a series of murders. The culprit was a local tanner, but he managed to escape. Since I’ve found elephant hide linked to him, I should ask someone about where one might acquire something like this.

EDIT: I went to Windspear Hills, where I was supposed to kill some demi-humans that where pillaging the local villages. It turns out lord Firkraag used an illusion to make me kill some temple knights. Now I have to find him to clear my name.

Since my laptop is bugging me (it’s overheating), I decided to play this classic while I wait for the repairs. This is one of my favorite games, but I never manage to complete it. This time, I decided to play with an archer which is a ranger character kit. I escaped Irenicus’ dungeon, Imoen was taken by the Cowled Wizards, and I got the quest to collect 20000 gold to save her. I freed Aerie from the circus, and took Nalia with me to help her family. Before I went to her castle, I took down a slaving organization in the slums. I also got a talking sword on the way.

My archer is really kicking but right now. Most of the enemies are not immune to standard arrows and, since I attack really fast, they usually fall before they reach me. By the time I reach stronger enemies, I’ll try to find a steady source of enchanted arrows.

I decided to try a few games, to see if I’ll play them in the future.

Space Siege (PC)

I really don’t like this one. The mouse moves in an unnatural way, and the entire game is overly simplified. The graphics are not so nice either, so they tried to mask it with allot of special effects which didn’t turn out so well. I won’t be playing this one.

Bangai-O Spirits (DS)

It’s nice, but it just isn’t me. I can understand why so many people like it, but it’s not the type of game that I like to play. I may give it another shot later.

Bionic Commando Rearmed (PC)

This one is quite nice. Once you get used to the play style, the game is really fluid, and there’s allot of things to unlock (as far as I can tell). I will probably play this one, but not too soon, since I have other games that I haven’t finished yet.
